Hello! I am Anna from Arkansas! My family has been going to Disney every year since my kiddos were two (2) and four (4) and now they are about to be eight (8) and ten (10). We went to see what all the fuss was about, since I had never been as a child. Now we absolutely get it. We just got back from a July 4th trip, and could literally pack up again today and go. Out of nowhere, we have become “those” Disney people, and we love it!
One of my favorite Disney moments has been when my daughter was styled at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique as Aerial from the Little Mermaid, and then we were able to meet Aerial at lunch at
Cinderella’s Royal Table. It was pure magic for all of us. Another favorite was when our little Jedi son went to Galaxy’s Edge to build is own personal Lightsaber at Savi’s Workshop. We were the last appointment of the day, but a Cast Member told my son that they had closed it just for him to build his Lightsaber. He was on top of the world.
It always blows my mind to see how these Cast Member’s go out of their way to make special moments for all children. My son purchased a trading pin for my daughter as a surprise on our last trip, and when the Cast Member heard what he was doing, she ran to the back and got him a whole bag of trading pins to take along with him.
Both of my kiddos are major pin traders, and the ones that they collect might not be worth a thing, but they are priceless to them. And it is a great way to visit with cast members and learn little tips about each park as well. Just one more thing that Disney gets right.
All of this to say, I have used Castles and Cruises for almost every Disney trip that we have taken and I believe there are nine (9) in total. It makes life so much easier to have someone do the calling and planning, and to have someone there to make your trip as special as possible. I am so excited to help other families plan their family vacations and start to have those magical moments as well. We have decided it is impossible to be angry or annoyed at Disney, it is truly a magical place, and I would love to help anyone have that magic in their lives.
